This composition contains the only figures on the right-hand wall. We are in the presence of five heads of stags, turned towards the back of the gallery. A horse and a line of dots are discretely blended into the centre of the panel.
The traditional name of Swimming Stags comes from the fact that only the heads, antlers and necks have been represented. Beneath them, the colour of the rock changes, following along the base of each figure. Depictions of rows of heads such as this are not rare. On several occasions, and for different species, arrangements like this are set into other panels, such as that of the ibexes on the opposite wall, or the yellow aurochs in the Axial Gallery.
The first four heads have been drawn in black using manganese dioxide, while the one at the right is coloured brown. Its outlines reveal the use of blocks of clay, pieces of which were found on the projecting shelf beneath this part of the panel.
